Getting bangs is a full commitment. Once you get a fringe, you must take time to blow dry it and style it to keep it in good form. You can’t simply let go, unless you want a clump of hair pointing to different directions on your forehead. There’s one brilliant hack, though, if you want to get fringe temporarily: faux bangs. Read on to learn how to create faux bangs for days when you need them.

7 Simple steps in making faux bangs

1

Start with healthy hair

Wash hair with DOVE Oxygen and Nourishment Shampoo and DOVE Oxygen and Nourishment Conditioner to make hair soft, smooth, and manageable. Doing so will also make your hair easy to style.

Make bangs

Take a small section of hair from the outer part of your high ponytail. Bring this section to front, letting the tips cover your forehead like bangs. Pin this section on the top of your head to keep your bangs in place.
